This is another band, Senior section 55th Old Boys in Belfast. I played with them in the 60s/70s though they're now dissolved. The reason I'm posting it here is that I think I remember Derek Orr (the band's euphonium player - middle row, 3rd from right) also conducted and/or played with Whitehouse.

Hi folks,

My dad was a bit of an amateur photographer and we knew Derek Orr (from the 55th) when he conducted Whitehouse (1960s/70s?). I found this photo he took which might interest those of you who knew Whitehouse. I THINK it is Whitehouse. Cheers!

Very few Silver Bands now Billy.

Used to love listening to them in Parks on a Summer`s evening many years ago.
